Faultlines: Cultural Materialism and the Politics of Dissident Reading

Couverture
Clarendon Press, 1992 - 365 pages
Through agile and often provocative discussions of texts by Shakespeare, Sidney, Donne, and Marlowe, the scope of dissidence and control is reassessed in relation to the state, gender and sexualities, religion and cultural production. Sinfield provides a hard-hitting critique of the role of Shakespeare in contemporary culture, and argues for new readings of our `national poet'.
